In this ambitious work of historical fiction, Douglass' passions come vividly to life in the form of two women: Anna Murray Douglass and Ottilie Assing.Douglass' Women is an imaginative rendering of these two women -- one black, the other white -- in Douglass' life. Anna, his wife, was a free woman of color who helped Douglass escape as a slave. She bore Douglass five children and provided him with a secure, loving home while he traveled the world with his message. Along the way, Douglass satisfied his intellectual needs in the company of Ottilie Assing, a white woman of German-Jewish descent, who would become his mistress for decades to come. How these two women find solidarity in their shared love for Douglass -- and his vision for a free America -- is at the heart of Jewell Parker Rhodes' extraordinary, epic novel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52194331722016,"sku":"NEW0743410106","price":17.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71hhLZFoT4S.jpg?v=1786910433","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/douglass-women-a-novel-0743410106","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
